“I wouldn’t believe this story if someone else were telling it, but it’s true. Every word of it.”
If you’re in the mood to watch something deeply unsettling tonight, one of the strangest documentaries of recent times is airing on TV.
Three Identical Strangers premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2018 and it immediately received rave reviews.
We can’t do the strangeness of the subject matter of the documentary any justice, so just read to the official movie synopsis for yourself:
“Tim Wardle’s acclaimed documentary Three Identical Strangers is the most amazing, incredible, remarkable true story ever told. Times three.

“Winner of Sundance Film Festival’s Special Jury Award, Three Identical Strangers is an exuberant celebration of family that transforms into a thriller with colossal implications and proof that life is truly is stranger than fiction.”
